234 DR. LATHAM'S SUN-BIRD. 



brownish red. The lower part of the back and 

 rump are very deep gamboge-yellow, almost Dutch 

 orange, and following the red of the back we have 

 the same lengthened plumes we saw in the last, of 

 a dark greyish oil-green, and which can completely 

 cover the yellow patch ; the wings are umber-brown 

 feathers edged with a paler tint and oil-green. 

 Underneath, we have the maxillary stripes run- 

 ning upon the sides of the neck, inside half of the 

 feathers black, the exterior rich violet ; the chin, 

 fore part of the neck, and breast, bright scarlet-red ; 

 the remaining under parts dull greyish oil-gregh. 

 Bill umber-brown, slightly paler on the maxilla. 



As stated, we do not know the locality of the 

 specimen we have described, and in the coUection 

 of the Zoological Society there is one similar, and 

 bearing out the distinctions from N. Goalpariensis 

 we have pointed out, but the locality of which is 

 also unknown.
